There are some articles that answer my question, but I guess I will pose this question as a post: if you do, why do you like to draw or doodle, if you can just take pictures of things today?
Presumably before photography was invented within the last few centuries, people relied more on drawing to communicate pictures that couldn’t be made with a camera (or AI program…). Naturally today we have this option, and I’ve found it convenient for a lot of communication.
I suppose I find drawing could be useful for translating more pictures that form in my head that don’t exist, like a new “invention hack” build or something.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on the value of drawing today when photography’s available (or I guess even when words can be used to describe things too)?
If I could take a photo of spaceships in orbit around ringed gas giants, I would. But the imagination is far more diverse than reality
With non-photographic visual arts, you can create images of varying levels of abstraction, so you can deliver to the viewer only the details you want to include.
